Enroute
to U.A.E.
There
was a meeting held immediately after "Coffee break" ., The meeting
was about the A.B. who was accidentally burned on the steam pipe on the other
ships chimney (not CSK Vanguard).
Seriously
they went all that trouble just to tell us this , about an unfortunate accident
- When I was in another company on European ships , nobody doesn’t even bother
about this , and yet here on this principal , it looks like a very big deal for
them - as if like some major accident has happened and needs the attention of
the whole fleet about it. Seriously I find it troublesome to be bothered on my
daily routine work by just this minor accident , Imagine they had to suspend
work here just to inform us and took almost more than 2 hours straight
lecturing and preaching which is practically pointless.
On
my opinion , the angle here is that this company (and most manning / shipping
company out there) is not exactly concerned about the well-being of the
seafarer, They're lecturing because the whole fleet is afraid of paying the
medical insurance for the A.B. and BECAUSE THE WANTED TO SAVE MONEY. Just like
Upl - Shell who are more concerned about the money rather than the unfortunate
(filipino) seafarers.
Aside
from that , another thing that was discussed was the arrival of some top brass
superintendent of this principal which will be joining ship by tomorrow and
will stay on this ship until this reaches fujirah UAE were he will disembark.
From what I heard its NOTHING GOOD, as he's apparently Filipino and will be
conduction some sort of "audit / inspections " . From what the crew
describes he's bad news.
